Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Michael Schirmer, 1606-73 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #160 (1982) Meter: Irregular Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in,
And in our hearts your work begin,
And make our hearts your dwelling.
Sun of the soul, O Light divine,
Around and in us brightly shine,
Your strength in us upwelling.
In your radiance
Life from heaven
Now is given
Overflowing,
Gift of gifts beyond all knowing.
2 Left to ourselves, we surely stray;
Oh, lead us on the narrow way,
With wisest counsel guide us;
And give us steadfastness that we
May follow you forever free,
No matter who derides us.
Gently heal those
Hearts now broken;
Give some token
You are near us,
Whom we trust to light and cheer us.
3 O mighty Rock, O Source of life,
Let your good Word in doubt and strife,
Be in us strongly burning
That we be faithful unto death
And live in love and holy faith,
From you true wisdom learning.
Lord, your mercy
On us shower;
By your power
Christ confessing,
We will cherish all your blessing. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET
